Organization – Prepare a daily schedule and purpose to stick to it, no matter what. Prepare two kinds; one that is a bit flexible and another, strict.

Communication – Alert all your household members regarding your office hours and make them respect that. Ignore them if they try to breach this rule (These include toddlers – ensure there is someone watching them as you work).

Presentation – Dress up! Look good. Take a shower before getting into the office. Put on make up if that’s your thing.

Reorganization – If you have to attend to anything urgent during your office hours, be sure to make up for the time lost before the next day (if possible) thus avoiding procrastination.

Relaxation – DO NOT exceed your working hours! Overworking is the beginning of your downfall. Take a break whenever you feel you need one (Without allowing indiscipline to creep in). This includes napping as often as possible.

Time Allocation – Like prep and elementary school, break your day into sessons. Here’s an example:

0800hrs – 0900hrs Quiet Time. You may play soft music at the background even as you work.

If you’re yet to work on your discipline, set alarms on your phone as well as setting your machine to sleep for the times you’re supposed to be offline. Ensure you take a jog/walk/gym session after the sun goes down. Have a cool down thereafter with family, visit a neighbour, dash to the store, etc. If you’re a night person, get back to your machine after dinner (without an agenda) and let your imagination guide you. If you’re a morning person, get to bed by 2100hrs and wake up earlier than your office hours so as to have time for your day dreaming session.

The most important attribute to have for you to be a successful home worker is discipline! In short, the moment your schedule begins, your house automatically becomes the office you’d have gone to if you weren’t working from home.

The city is knackered – every thinkable business already exists, all vacancies filled. Get out of the city and empower the small counties and towns by sharing your great ideas and expertise.

The church buildings are knackered – those in service are burned out while those in need go in and leave the same way they came. Get out of the four walls and be the church of God everywhere you go, by sharing the Love He has put in you.

‘And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.’ – Mark 16:15.

The government is knackered – our leaders are not efficiently performing their duties due to one reason or the other. Get out of the blame game and play your part by first and foremost covering them in prayer, and thereafter obeying the law of the land.

‘Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God…..’ – Romans 13:1-7.

We are knackered – no longer having the zeal we had when we first encountered God. Get out of familiar grounds and affordable targets. Our purpose in life is much greater than our physical ability. God is calling us deeper. We cannot hear His voice where we are because He has gone before us. Do you remember the last assignment He gave you? Begin from the known to the unknown.

‘Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,faithful in prayer.Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.’ – Romans 12:11-13.

Get out of your worry and into your calling.

There we shall be empowered because our assignments are bigger than us.

There we shall exercise our talents as well as the gifts He’ll add unto us.

There we shall find contentment and a blessing commanded.

There we shall not only see the hand of God, but His face too.

There you shall reproduce,
So open your heart for His use;
There you shall multiply,
So spread your wings and fly.
